Where to find the Cellar Key in Alone in the Dark?

As players explore the confines of the Derceto Manor, they will stumble across a cellar - which requires a Cellar Key in Alone in the Dark.

This brings up the question: Where can players find the Cellar Key in Alone in the Dark? Unlike some other collectibles and items in the game, finding this is not too hard.

After beating the oil rig segment and arriving back in Derceto Manor in Chapter 2, players will find themselves in the Small Parlor area of the mansion. Here, they will obtain a couple of handy items: a Palette Knife used to unjam wedged doors in Alone in the Dark and a Sitting Room Key. The former item should allow players to enter the Drawing Room located inside the Small Parlor.

With the new room opened up, players can walk inside and get the key on the table. This will allow players to get into the further section of the basement area of the Ground Floor by opening up the Food & Wine Cellar. To unlock the Cellar using the Cellar Key in Alone in the Dark, players only need to interact with it and select the right key to fit into the keyhole.

This new area that has been opened plays a key role in obtaining items to aid further story progression. That is all players need to know about the Cellar Key in Alone in the Dark.
